So what happens to existing subscriptions?

So what happens to existing subscriptions?

My guess is since it is just a rebranding they just migrate.

If it's rebranding as the Paramount network can we get all the Trek movies on there, keep them on there, and also get the Mission Impossible movies on there as well. There is so much of the Paramount cateloge they can put on there and really boost the service. Other than Star Trek, I really don't use the service very much.

I think Paramount is a better name than CBS, just like HBO was a better brand name than WB. So this is a good choice.

So what happens to existing subscriptions?

My guess is it'll go up to $8.99 for basic and $12.99 for no commercials. I think existing subscriptions will be honored.

My main hope is I can still watch it on Amazon Prime.

It has grown by 74% since last year alone, mostly on the back of the new Trek shows.

I think that's the path they'll take. CBS All Access already had a ton of Paramount titles under their service. More will be added once certain licensing deals expire with Netflix, Amazon, etc.
